TEST SESSION CHARTER
CHARTER ID: CH_UI_1.0
1 Description
Analyze the user interface. Consider things like intuitivity and ease of learning and
use.
2 What – tested areas
Thoroughly test all dialog functionality. Heavily use windows, buttons, scrollbars,
key shortcuts and all other basic components of the user interface.
3 Why – goal
The goal of this test session is to identify bugs or other visible problems in the user
interface. This also involves any UI design flaw that can be identified.
4 How – approach
First, use RevRatio as you would use any standard Windows application. Try to
manage without the user manual as far as possible. Attempt conducting a systematic
review in a manner you feel is most obvious. Note any inconsistencies.
Then, try being unconventional. Jump from dialog to dialog, open up several dialogs,
make searches, click on every button you can find, basically do anything you can
think of.
5 Focus - what problems to look for
In this test session, pay special attention to the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Are buttons, panels and widgets placed logically?
Do key shortcuts work as expected?
Pointer vs. keyboard use.
Smooth operation, performance.
Are there bugs or other inconsistencies? (disappearing windows, non-functional
buttons, focus issues etc.)
Also, consider how well the user interface follows standard Microsoft Windows
conventions.

TEST NOTES
The system was tested without manual
BUGS
No new bugs found
ISSUES
The program behaved very well, although it crashed one time when there
apparently was some network failure. The program crashed when it tried to
perform search in google, and the tester had to use task manager to close the
program.
Copy-pasting in the findings view isn’t as intuitive as drag-and-dropping would
be. Drag-and-dropping was the first thing the tester tried, but after finding out
that copy-pasting worked ok. However, ctrl-c and ctrl-v would be nice instead
of having to right mouse button for it
Setting a finding’s status to unset is possible although there is no status set at
all. This is just confusing, maybe ‘unset’ should disabled in case no status is
set?
